THE COMPLEAT CURMUDGEON'S GUIDE TO HEALTHY LIVING

Rate: 26 Flag
     I share this brief tutorial in the interest of your health and happiness, as well as in the interest of developing
                                  Curmudgeon Youth 
who may have the right attitude, the right instincts, but who as yet may not have at tongue's tip just the right words in a world of
                                Aphorisms Out of Control.
                            Use this as a Primer, as a Guide.
                                     You will thank me.

     Horse shit. A virile man never loses heat.
 
-   "An Apple a Day keeps the Doctor Away."
     You can never get a fucking appointment anyway.  
 
-  "To end a friend's Hiccups, wait for the Right Moment, then startle her with a resounding 'Ha!'".
     Sure. Then get the shit beat out of you.
  
 
  
-  "Every Person is the Author of His own Health."
     Tell that to miners, asshole.
-   "To Wish to be Well is the Largest Part of Becoming Well."
     Yeah...That's right. Just think really hard:
     Cancer, Cancer! Go Away!
     Visit Someone Else Today! 
                                              
                       
"Digestion is the Great Secret of Life."
      No: throwing up on your enemy's shoes is.

     And a brimming trust fund.
"Eight Glasses of Water a Day will Take all Your Ills Away."
     Yeah. And piss you straight into Depends by the time you're 50.
 
"Health is Wealth!"
       No it's not. It's just a goddamned rhyme.
  
 
"Happiness is the Path to Health."
       Ommmm. Fucking. Ommmm.
 
      
  
"The Healthy Man is the One Who Asks for Help."

      People who say "The Cosmos" (or "The Planet") aren't fit to live.
  
 
"I don't want to Live in a World where People go Without Adequate and Proper Nutrition."
        So die.

         No. Fucking. Duuh.

       And when you stick a fork in the fucking toaster.
 
"To Maintain Good Health, Cultivate Cheerfulness."

Glenna that ManGirl's not your cousin, is it/she/he ?
Love the "cosmos" picture, not to be mistaken for a tray of cosmos at a martini bar (ugh). I am laughing because I am not sure that I can disagree with any of those statements. R for a laugh at my profession.
Orioki you must must tell me more at your profesion! (TY)
NOTE: A genuine Thank-You to my friend, Glenna, who found the great pic of the woman thrashing the hapless guy. It's tough to find a such a photo. Put "women beating up men" or the like into a search and see what happens: not a lot. Glenna has Skills.
Jonathan this was FANTASTIC. I am so glad you took the time to put this together, and the comments were right on! What fun for a Thursday morning. It was great. Thank you. R
Humbug, goddammit!!! Cosmic...oops **ducks and sidles away unnoticeably**
Sheila! I'm so smiling! TY!
i'm not sure when it happened, but i must be a curmudgeon as i not only laughed at but agree with everything said here. (r) for truth in advertising. ;-)
Matt I love NPR and yet they have an occasional piece w guest writers/speakers called THIS I BELIEVE. Filled with one dreadful, sappy aphorism after another, all so very very F-ing M E A N I N G F U L..... And they invariably use "The Planet" and/or "The Cosmos". I feel like chucking McD's wrappers out the car window. .......
Missing hehehe thanks so much. I have been wanting to write one like this a v v v long time. :)
The Palin one was priceless..
Brought a smile to my face this morning... and its only 6;51 am hahaha
Rated with hugs
Put a smile on my face! Thanks, Jonathan
Clever and very funny. Thanks for a good laugh this morning._r
This I Believe, eh? Glad I've been missing that one. Makes me think of Al Franken's SNL spoof Daily Affirmations ...doggonit, people like me!
thanks for the smile...........was reading you while on a 4 way conference call!! you are much more entertaining!!

~~R
Fun, Fun read. That has got to be the ugliest WO-MAN I've ever seen. :)
r~
Matt hehehe trust me you would throw up were you to hear it. :)
If this list makes total sense to me and I find nothing to disagree with, does that make me a curmudgeon, too? If so, do we have a clubhouse and a logo? I want the hat and the lapel pin, please......:) This was wonderful and will keep my smiling all morning!
Joan affter writing yesterday abt that rabbi in Iowa who just got 27 years for bank fraud a guy who's also a child-labor abuser, I needed this too. :)
Dr. Ayala INTO EVERY DAY A SMILE WILL COME YOUR WAY uuuucccckkkk hehehehe :) Thanks!
Susan be Good and I'll teach you the secret Handshake! Thanks!
Linda Thanks we all need smiles up at that hour! Hugs on you, too! :)
HA! Loved it, I needed to laugh this morning.

Oh the x-rated memories!
Noooooo! Not the flashbacks!

Hehehe. -R-
Zinnia Pleased to have been there for you!
Lady Miko thanks so much!! this was really fun to put together :)
"True Beauty is on the Inside." Hah, who ever made this up was some kind of ugly!
Thanks. A wonderful training manual for improving the olfactory system. I can now smell horseshit three miles away.
Bonnie it sure as hell didn't for the guy/girl on this blog :)
Good one. The first one reminded me of what Seinfeld said: If you lose most of your heat through your head, then you should be able to ski naked as long as you wear a cap.
You made me start the day laughing, a very healthful thing to do. Thanks.
Damn, and you only got 2 pictures of Sarah Palin in there.
Walt the 1st 1's purdier.
I guess I am a curmudgeon! R
rock on, you funny OS scrooge.
too too funny and some of these pictures...
A friend of mine used to say

"Life is but a prune danish."

He never elaborated. He made about as much sense as most of these. While we're at it, remember to keep these two old sayings in mind, preferably at the same time:

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
"Out of sight, out of mind."
Caroline always pleased to help!
Kosh don't worry i'll never leave you OS Is Where the Heart Is
Nikki now, now don't go on insulting my sister!! :) (who in reality is a doll and beautiful and is also OS-er Dina Baker)
Love it! Sounds like the (unwanted) advice I dole out to the pill popping teenagers and helecopter parents in my neighborhood!
Aaron I am here to help!
I so enjoy when a post has such a positive outlook...thanks! LMAO
Buffy I could not agree more!
Thank God! Pass me that jar of Marshmallow Fluff and slide over the Wonder Bread. Racist shit, indeed!
Lezlie
This is hillarious Jon!
Way to go again!
Even though there is ALOT of humor here there is also a lot of seriousness underneath which all great humor has.

Great job, again!

Buddy
Great one Jonathan! Enjoyed it!
Jon, this was so funny I damn near spit out a bite fo today's apple (which by the way has kept the doctor away from me ... but not me away from the doctor. Ironic, huh?). You write good stuff ... and on good topics ... and I enjoy the s**t out of you. Only one problem: You are so prolific, I can't keep up. {{{R}}} for Really Raucous.
Remind me not to drink coffee and read. (where's that cleaning rag?)
snark hehehehe awwwwwww :)
vanesssa had i known i'd've supplied rage hehehehe
